*naïve* static IPs create 3 problems: first, if I do this and then forget about it for a year, then move one of these adapters to a different network, it will mysteriously just not work at all and require debugging. I really don't want to be bothered with that. second, it basically breaks IPv6 completely. third, there are weird issues with moving devices and confusing the arp cache if you send any traffic within 2XMSL which is just a big bummer of a bug magnet.
